I’m not saying he would or would not succeed at ND (or another major program) but as much as the “Row the Boat” excitement can rally a fanbase & players, when he eventually falls short of expectations, the blowback is that much louder. He hasn’t really had to deal w/ that on a national level. I don’t think he’d personally be adversely affected but can you imagine ND fans after losing to a Pitt or Navy and the “Row the Boat” memes start going viral?

If you don't know "Row the Boat" than you have no idea who PJ Fleck is...that has been his tagline since he was at Western Michigan.

Thank you for the clarification. Very few were following Fleck while he was at Western Michigan, that's how an up and comer becomes an up and comer, they gradually ascend the ranks. I don't need to have watched him at Western Michigan to know that he's a better coach than BK, at present time.

Always said no F’ing way on Urban, but PJ would be an instant injection of energy and passion.

He trademarked "Row the Boat" and brought it to Minnesota and continues to use it today. If you've watched him THIS year than you should know the tagline. Minnesota actually had to pay Western Michigan to be able to continue using the tagline

So are people going to start ripping him for not stepping on the throat of PSU like they do BK

You ever get online and research something you previously had little knowledge about?

So if Minnesota holds on he will have more top 5 victories in a couple years at Minnesota than BK has in a decade at Notre Dame.

Penn state should have never been number 4 In the first place. They are kinda like us against USC lucky they didn’t get beat. They good but I don’t believe they are overly great though.

Daddaa overcompensates for his CFB knowledge because apparently pretending to know more than others about CFB is really really important to him.

Wow....this coming from the guy that supposedly has inside information when you have no connects to the program. Hey pot this is kettle.

How heart broken would you be if I told you everything.

I understand the sentiment that Minnesota had not played anyone but it is a joke that ND was ranked ahead of Minnesota. We have played 2 good teams and are 0-2 with 1 blowout loss so how is it worse to have played no one and be undefeated?

Holy shit...that is a big boy. Do you know if he plays or is he just the first off the bus?

He's the starting RT, dude's a monster. I think he's a Kiwi or Australian they said? Idk, kinda missed it when they were talking about it, but I caught the height/weight.

Win or lose, they should be above us after this showing but would be shocked to see them move up after a close loss.

Good football coach but am I the only one who thinks he is a huge douche who is all
about attention on him rather than the team.

PJ has that place rocking today. They probably havent had a gameday atmosphere like this in decades, if ever.

I have faith he could make a few blue hairs stand up in NDS

Minnesota had to eke out wins against Georgia Southern and South Dakota State. They went to double OT against Fresno State.

That said, they have played better and better as the season has progressed.

I don't think it's arrogance, I think he's just legit got that fire you look for, like Dabo style fire/enthusiasm. I think that's what ND needs at this point, a young motivator to come and get the most out of the guys.

I would support almost ANYTHING that makes this happen.

At the very least maybe ND should go after the Gophers DB coach...dude turned his head, played the ball and broke up the pass!
